My 2014 Checklist

1. One International Climb

Mt. Yushan (Jade Mountain)

[November 3 - 4]

Highest peak in Central East Asia and in Taiwan...

Hoping to climb this mountain again and visit the North Peak or Traverse.Reaching the summit was a complete challenge for a guy who's been into hiking for 3 years within the Philippine archipelago.

2. Watch an Internationally Acclaimed Musical/Play

A night in Emerald City.

February 15, 2014 at Cultural Center of the Philippines.

" Wicked tells the story of two unlikely friends, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (the Good Witch of the North), who struggle through opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace." - Wiki

3. Visit 20 Beaches

Dampalitan Beach

Borawan Beach

4. Visit 20 Islands

Borawan

Fortune Island

5. 2 Solo Backpacking (Local Regions Only)

6. Visit my hometown, Cagayan de Oro at least 6 times (Christmas/New Year not included)

7. Visit my Dad's Farm and his Hometown

8. Climb 1 9/9 mountain in the Philippines - Oh well! Naging dalawa for this year

Halcon is one of the 3 toughest mountains in the Philippines as mentioned by many blogs.

And if I need to rate Halcon from the other 2 according to difficulty? I would say, Guiting Guiting would be the first. Mantalingajan would be my second because its summit trail like of G2 plus a very long traverse side while Halcon would be my third.
